“Not long ago” was last year.

I don’t know why you guys get worked up about what Shaw says at press conferences.  I think maybe you want to extract some satisfaction at Shaw prostrating himself or something, but there is very little Shaw can say.  If he tries to find silver linings, complaints line up that he is lying. Conversely, if he says anything negative, even if it is along the lines of “we struggled on defense” people will complain that he is throwing the players under the bus.

I’ve long said that Shaw’s goals at a press conference are to get out of there as quickly as possible, saying as little as possible. Obsessive can sometimes get a nugget or two of the coaching staff’s thinking, but more often than not, his comments are carefully couched coach-speak mostly designed to box check an activity that he clearly doesn’t enjoy (even, in many cases, after wins).

I get "worked up"?! I want Shaw to "prostrate" himself?! You are evidently a devotee of the strawman approach to disagreement: exaggerate the other person's point of view, then knock it down. Impressive -- NOT.
